Abstract
Background: A mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth located in the palatal midline between the two maxillary central incisors. The present study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of mesiodens in the pediatric population using cone-beam computed tomography. Materials and Methods: A longitudinal prospective study was carried out in 5700 children to determine the prevalence of mesiodens. The following data were recorded: Age, sex, shape, orientation, eruption status, and caused by mesiodens. Results: The prevalence of mesiodens in the present study was 3.5%. The sex ratio was 1:1. The majority of mesiodens (61%) were conical in shape followed by supplemental (35.5%) and tuberculate (3.5%) types. A majority of the mesiodens (51.5%) were vertically aligned. Inverted and horizontal positions were observed in 41% and 7.5% of the cases. Most of the mesiodens were unerupted (53%) and 47% were erupted. Conclusion: The prevalence of mesiodens was 3.5%. Conical shape and vertical orientation were the common characteristics observed in the study.
